The previous formulation could suggest that the device camera could be used as a webcam. This is not the case (yet?).

# scrcpy (v2.0)
|
||
|
||
<img src="app/data/icon.svg" width="128" height="128" alt="scrcpy" align="right" />
|
||
|
||
_pronounced "**scr**een **c**o**py**"_
|
||
|
||
This application mirrors Android devices (video and audio) connected via
|
||
USB or [over TCP/IP](doc/device.md#tcpip-wireless), and allows to control the
|
||
device with the keyboard and the mouse of the computer. It does not require any
|
||
_root_ access. It works on _Linux_, _Windows_ and _macOS_.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
It focuses on:
|
||
|
||
- **lightness**: native, displays only the device screen
|
||
- **performance**: 30~120fps, depending on the device
|
||
- **quality**: 1920×1080 or above
|
||
- **low latency**: [35~70ms][lowlatency]
|
||
- **low startup time**: ~1 second to display the first image
|
||
- **non-intrusiveness**: nothing is left installed on the Android device
|
||
- **user benefits**: no account, no ads, no internet required
|
||
- **freedom**: free and open source software
|
||
|
||
[lowlatency]: https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/pull/646
|
||
|
||
Its features include:
|
||
- [audio forwarding](doc/audio.md) (Android >= 11)
|
||
- [recording](doc/recording.md)
|
||
- mirroring with [Android device screen off](doc/device.md#turn-screen-off)
|
||
- [copy-paste](doc/control.md#copy-paste) in both directions
|
||
- [configurable quality](doc/video.md)
|
||
- Android device screen [as a webcam (V4L2)](doc/v4l2.md) (Linux-only)
|
||
- [physical keyboard/mouse simulation (HID)](doc/hid-otg.md)
|
||
- [OTG mode](doc/hid-otg.md#otg)
|
||
- and more…
|
||
|
||
## Prerequisites
|
||
|
||
The Android device requires at least API 21 (Android 5.0).
|
||
|
||
[Audio forwarding](doc/audio.md) is supported from API 30 (Android 11).
|
||
|
||
Make sure you [enabled USB debugging][enable-adb] on your device(s).
|
||
|
||
[enable-adb]: https://developer.android.com/studio/debug/dev-options#enable
|
||
|
||
On some devices, you also need to enable [an additional option][control] `USB
|
||
debugging (Security Settings)` (this is an item different from `USB debugging`)
|
||
to control it using a keyboard and mouse.
